And yes it is rare to see difficult passages played while moving. Bluecoats for instance. They have a very entertaining show IMO, but the follow the leader snake drills, and other follow the leader isn't that demanding. And they do generally stand still to play their features. All corps do it similarly now, not meaning to single out Bloo. It's just different. I don't think you can say one is more demanding than the other. Agreed with today's shows for sure. Assuming you marched Cadets '93, can you really say what hornlines are doing today is more difficult than what you did? I think not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky is no longer the limit they can perform whatever they want and wear whatever they want in the future. The only tradition that remains is brotherhood and bad assery ⬅️ Not a real word. ⚜️⚜️⚜️〽️〽️ Agreed. I hope this show bodes well for them competitively. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this comment is a little old but the Cavaliers show is 13 minutes and not 11. They are using all of the new available time with no unjudged of preshow.

DrumManTx Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'll echo what someone said on the Muncie thread. I never thought a standstill performance was gonna be what sold me on this show. Consider me sold on the musical side of things. If they can match that intensity on the field and keep adjusting things like they did in Music for Prague this show is gonna COOK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Not sure a drum corps ever benefitted as much at a rained out show as Scouts did tonight!!! Some BRAVE choices made by the design team that I think are going to pay off THIS YEAR. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does the decision come from the time keeper when the judging starts? Basically corps are allowed 13 minutes now? I knew there were rule changes but didn't know specifics. Just wondering.

I think the only judge that cares about timing is the timing judge. All of the judges begin judging once the announcement has been made (that announcement is the "Performing their 2017 program Men Are From Mars, Drum Corps International is proud to present The Cavaliers!"). My understanding is that corps using the 13 minutes will have all of the announcements before the first notes. e.g. Please welcome to the field from Rosemont, Illinois. The Cavaliers! Drum Major Hunter Dugie is your corps ready? *salute* Performing their 2017 program Men Are From Mars, Drum Corps International is proud to present The Cavaliers! *judging commences* vs. e.g. *boom boom clap begins* *the synth soloist crowdsurfs to the front* *starts playing a solo* Please welcome to the field from Ft. Mill, South Carolina. Carolina Crown! Drum Majors Preston Jake and Andre Mathis is your corps ready? *drill starts with the turning arc* *salute* Performing their 2011 program Rach Star, Drum Corps International is proud to present Carolina Crown! *as the horns blast bohemian rhapsody* *judging commences* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjoakes Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I think Scouts are ahead too far to catch on the social media photography caption. Not sure how this FB link might work: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
